Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero Heading to Nintendo Switch 2, Saudi Ratings Hint

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been rated for Nintendo Switch 2, stirring excitement among fans despite the absence of an official announcement regarding its release on the new console. This unexpected news came to light through a now-deleted tweet from the Saudi General Authority of Media Regulation, which was quickly shared across the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit.

The tweet, before its removal, stated, "Experience the fighting action in the latest game Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. Available on Nintendo Switch 2, featuring 3D battles and storylines that change based on your choices," and confirmed that the game had received a 12+ rating. This revelation has ignited discussions and speculation about the game's availability on the upcoming console.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero elevates the iconic gameplay of the Budokai Tenkaichi series to new heights. It boasts "an incredible number" of playable characters, each equipped with unique signature abilities, transformations, and techniques. Our review at IGN Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero review gave it a 7/10, highlighting its nostalgic charm: "Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a final flash from the past, sometimes to a fault, but the feeling of traveling back to a simpler time when games didn’t have to be balanced or competitive to be fun is still a good one."

Meanwhile, pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 opened on April 24, with the console priced at $449.99. As expected, the pre-orders were met with overwhelming demand. On the same day, Nintendo issued a warning to U.S. customers who pre-ordered from the My Nintendo Store, indicating that release date delivery was not guaranteed due to the high volume of orders.
